Former Austrian national team goalkeeper Alex Manninger was killed in a car accident in Austria at the age of 48. His car was struck by a train in a fatal accident in Austria. Manninger was considered one of the prominent names in Austrian football in the 2000s. He made 33 appearances for the national team between 1999 and 2009, and was a central part of the squad for a decade. The accident occurred at an unsecured level crossing in the Nussdorf am Haunsberg area, near Salzburg. The circumstances of the accident are still under investigation.
